I was reading a few quotes where I came across one on kindness. I thought to myself about my birthday coming up on 28th August. Abruptly I thought to take up a challenge for 5 days where I would be kind and contribute each day doing something towards my goal of being kind. Eventually, after telling everyone at home, it became a family event as they found it exciting and something new to do. It was just supposed to be random acts of kindness.
After seeing my schedules, routine, school activities, etc, we decided to begin by helping each other clean the room and making the bed after waking up. To begin with, this was a good habit to be cultivated. We made sure our household help eat lunch with us every day (she always does but this was included in the challenge). We distributed biscuits to the poor, visited our old parents and helped them, washing our own dishes, spending time with each other and embracing grace and prayer into our lives became a whole exciting week. We decided to make this our daily habit.
Going on the theme of being good and kind to everyone around us, we embraced and accepted love. This challenge took us to a new world that taught us family support and bonding. There was some learning for everyone during this week. We always did the above but this time it was a conscious challenge. It was an insightful journey.
